    BW> Although when I changed the last read date for the MYSTIC echomail area   
    BW> to two days back and performed the global personal scan, MQ (/NOSCAN   
    BW> /NOFOOT /NEW /YOU /LIST /NOREAD) acted up and didn't find anything for   
    BW> some reason. Checked the message list (Read, Forward, scroll to end) and   
    BW> the messages (some of them from you, to me) were correctly flagged as   
    BW> "N" (new), and still MQ didn't find them. Changing the LR date worked   
      
   When you reset your last scan date it does not reset the flag on each   
   individual message that determines if you read it before   
   or not.  The /noread option tells Mystic to ignore messages that have been   
   presented to you once before regardless of what your last read pointer says.   
      
   In other words Mystic tracks (for each message) whether or not the "To" user   
   has seen the message or not.  If you have seen it, Mystic will not show it to   
   you again if /noread is used and your lastread pointer doesn't matter in that   
   case.  If you want it to *only* key off of the last read pointers then you   
   should remove the /noread option.   
      
   Its easy to get lost in all of the options Mystic has for ways to scan.  In   
   the long run its a good thing because the scanning in Mystic is super   
   flexible, but it can take a bit to sort through it all.  Even I have thought   
   the newscan was bugged and it turned out to be because of /noread in the past   
   (and I created this mess)!   
      
   That said if you feel its not because of /noread let me know because of course   
   there could always be a bug.   
      
    BW> Anyway, I posted two test messages in FSX_TST to myself (both to my   
    BW> alias and real name) and that worked just fine; they appeared in both MQ   
    BW> and MN as they should.   
      
   Great! Thank you for testing it and following up!   
      
    BW> P.S. The comment in whatsnew.txt suggests that it is /G (the global scan   
    BW> option) that is affected by /YOU, but it really is /P (the personal scan   
    BW> option) that is affected, right? D.S.   
      
   I think technically it will be both, but you're right it should probably have   
   said personal scan.  I'll update that.   
      
   I haven't really tested all of the scenarios but technically /YOU should work   
   in combination with different modes for MN and MR. I'll need to sort out where   
   it can and can't be used and document it, but feel free to experiment if you   
   want to!  For now just assume its only guarenteed to work in the /P scan!   
      
   ... Honk if you love peace and quiet!
